  1. Married adults have markedly more sex than their unmarried peers, but the sex recession is also making inroads among married couples.
  2. When it comes to sexlessness (“no sex in the last year”) among young adults, the biggest change comes post-2010.
  3. Between 2010 and 2019, the average time young adults spent with friends in a given week fell by nearly 50%, from 12.8 hours to just 6.5 hours.

it would be super surprising if this didn't corelate with cost of living

I know this is a weak excuse from me b/c ppl in other countries aren't bothered but as a 30 y/o grown ass man, I just don't find it appropriate trying to bring women over to my parents house. I don't even think I qualify for tinder at this point tbh. lol

I didn't read the articles or look at the numbers, just wanted to respond to the comment. 👌

Yeah but for other countries that’s a cultural difference. If you’re in the US, it’s totally seen as like embarrassing at best, red flag at worst, to bring a date over to your parents’ house, even though it’s totally reasonable to live at home bc the cost of living is just too damn high

Maybe dad can shout some tips mid-session.

Look at the bright side- the population decline will lead to normalization.
